To retreat, you must know how to lose the first wave of offensive and defensive battles.
There are three main categories of first-line chemotherapy drugs for digestive tract tumors: fluorouracil-based irinotecan and oxaliplatin. Fluorouracil-based drugs have greater side effects on the heart. It cannot be ruled out that Teacher Lu was unable to withstand the first chemotherapy for this reason.
If you are a person in the future, as soon as you hear about side effects, you will immediately think of star targeted drugs that are said to have the lowest side effects.
Targeted drugs have great limitations, and there is no particularly effective targeted drug for duodenal cancer and pancreatic cancer. The effect of this weapon is average. Let’s talk about second-line drugs. The firepower of second-line drugs has been proven to be effective against the attack point of the disease by data.
Like the three lines for Schrödinger's cat.
Xie Wanying gave a reference to teachers: You can try it.
According to the information she received from the future, the experimental results of this combination of second-line drugs were released. It was confirmed that this drug regimen can significantly inhibit the probability of cancer metastasis and greatly improve the risk of re-metastasis for high-risk patients like Teacher Lu.
The quality of life of patients in the later period. In other words, this weapon cannot kill all enemies, but it can consume them, make the tumor as small as possible and reduce the patient's pain and paralysis. Even if it also has side effects on the heart, you can still try it to see if the patient can withstand it.
"Where did you hear the data?" Zhang Huayao asked her, his scheming eyes narrowed into a straight line of shock.
Even a boss like him had no way of knowing the results of the drug in the experiment. The clinical trial process was double-blind, and no one knew what would happen until the time was up and the results of the experiment were revealed. How did Xie know?
"I guessed it," Xie Wanying said. She couldn't say she had never heard of it before. Then the teachers must think she was crazy.
"Guess, how do you guess?"
"The experiment has not been stopped. It is now in its third phase." Xie Wanying said, "And the experiment was carried out in many countries. I have not heard that there were any major problems in the experiment that led to the suspension. Our focus now should be on this drug first.
security.”
As long as the drug is relatively safe for the patient, it must be tried. The deciding factor in deciding whether to try it or not is the stage of the patient's condition and whether he or she needs to give it a try. For this reason, she just said it at the beginning, saying that there is a high chance that it will.
Bone metastasis occurs, so it must be tried.
More than that, she added: "The patient can't eat now. I don't think the patient's physical weakness after catching a cold could cause such a situation. I personally tend to suspect that the patient has the possibility of local recurrence. Radiotherapy should be added. If he can't bear it,
Combined therapy can adopt sequential therapy.”
Sequential therapy and combined therapy, their different meanings can be easily and clearly interpreted literally. Combined therapy can be simply understood as two or more therapies used at the same time. Sequential means that one type is used up and then another is used.
The purpose of each method is to enhance the curative effect and consolidate the curative effect.
If the patient's current condition cannot withstand the combined fire attack, the only option is sequential treatment. You can do radiotherapy first and then a second round of chemotherapy. Or you can switch to combined treatment after the patient's condition gets better.
The doctors present looked at her remarks.
Zhang Huayao raised the corners of his mouth and nodded his chin slightly, as if he was nodding to indicate something.
When the others saw it, they knew that the poisonous tongue king was not saying whether he agreed with her opinion, but he was appreciating her full-scale medical strategy.
